What do we reckon the chances are that we'll see Nintendo allow Switch 1 games to be played in docked mode on Switch 2 undocked?

A lot of S1 games are 1080p docked so would look great on Switch 2's screen.

I'm not sure I can see Nintendo being that charitable though...

Sadly, it's not a straight forward 1:1 conversion really. Handheld mode requires UI/text elements to be shrinked and modified to accommodate with the smaller screen they were played on.

You'd need individual updates for games to make something like this available. 

Wouldn't the bigger screen solve for that problem?

It wouldn't even need to be the default. Have all S1 games run in undocked mode as standard but include an option to switch to docked...

EDIT If I hold my S23 ultra in front of me it takes up just about as much of my field of view as my 55" TV at about 3 metres away.

The Switch 2's screen is significantly bigger than my phone so surely it'll manage text as well as many TV setups.

Unless I'm misunderstanding?
